She enriches every waking moment of the day. This little goddess of wisdom and war otherwise known to us as Vicious Chickie. She can wield her words and branches with equal ferocity and always with a smile.

All 3 enjoy viewing slideshows of their capers and general joyful romping. The will watch and point, calling out all the names, including dogs, in each slide. In this shot, framed on a tansu, she will point to and say okole. A damn cute one to say the least.

LOOK!
